I was the proud owner of a 156 2.4 SW. Unfortunately I had a bigger engine damage with almost 119’000km. Blocked water pump, you can think of the rest. The whole costs me CHF 6’000.-. To say is that the Alfa is almost three years old, practically only highway kilometers and all services were always made. The following parts were exchanged under guarantee: suspension rear and front, this with about 80’000km. As a further I had to the clutch and all Stossd ämper replaced and, of course, paid for themselves. I still forgot the cut-off in the battery. Unfortunately, Alfa did not show any coolness in the engine damage and left me standing in the rain. Is this normal ? As a salesman I depend on a reliable car. Do I really have to switch to a German model ? Thank you for your input.
